Lincoln - The Nebraska women's basketball program will feature a new voice in its first season inside the Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Local radio personality James Kyhn earned the spot as the new voice of Husker women's basketball over the public address system in the new arena through an audition in mid-October. He replaces John Bishop, who served as the PA voice of the Husker women for the past several years at the Devaney Center.

Bishop stepped aside from his PA duties over the summer because of additional commitments at his radio job in Omaha.

Kyhn has been involved in local radio for more than a decade, including a stint as a producer for Husker women's basketball broadcasts. He grew up in Martell and graduated from Crete High School, Southeast Community College and Doane College.
